Only I Am Immune to Magic

Chapter 089. What is the best defense?

[The effect of Life Protection escapes from the danger of death.]

[Stamina and mental strength have been restored by 0.1%.]

When I opened my eyes, blue letters danced like a haze in my blurry vision.

“Ugh… … .”

A moan escaped from between pale lips.

My whole body throbbed as if I had been beaten, and my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn’t see.

‘What happened?’

Aaron struggled to get his mind together.

As I rummaged through my confused memories, the last message I saw before passing out suddenly came to my mind.

‘If you do not recover your health within 30 seconds, you will die.’

When using the Soulo Rune, you receive penalties such as reduced physical strength or slowed movement speed according to the increased stats.

In the game, no matter how high his stats were, he had never received a penalty leading to death, but somehow he was deprived of all his physical strength and mental strength, and ended up in a dying state.

‘I can’t see him going easily.’

As a soul, if you use it well, it’s almost like a cheat key against monsters.

In the game, it was a level where I could handle the penalty, so I used it without any burden when the number of monsters was a little high, but it seemed that I couldn’t do that anymore.

“Aaron! Are you awake?”

I didn’t have the strength to even lift a finger, and only my eyelids were trembling. Someone hurriedly approached me.

“Aaron!”

A sweet scent hit me with a shrill voice.

It was Nesty’s body odor.

“eww.”

Aaron answered the call with only slightly parted lips.

Thanks to the protection of life, he escaped death, but in fact, he was only breathing, but he was no different from a living corpse.

He had to wait for at least a few hours before he could recover from the minimal amount of Life Protection.

“Just lie down. It’s over.”

Nesty squatted next to Aaron and comforted him.

She couldn’t see Aaron fighting because she was concentrating on prayer, but from Rhaast’s testimony and the corpses of monsters piled up like a mountain around her, she could guess what had happened.

“I think I now understand why the goddess called the lord a savior.”

Rhaast murmured as he looked at the awakened Aaron.

At the time of the battle with the monster, he looked at Aaron with a bewildered face without even thinking about swinging his sword.

The sight of him slaughtering monsters with a relaxed smile was like a well-forged blade, not a human.

I heard a scream from one side, and when I looked up, the blood splattered on the other side, and when I quickly looked that way, confusion broke out in another place.

A movement that I dare not even guess how it was done.

It was as if Oberyn from the epic had descended into the present world.

“Here… where are you.”

Aaron spoke slowly, as if he could not be heard.

As time passed and his stamina increased, his blurry vision gradually returned and he was able to speak at least a little.

The place where he was was a temporary building made of sloppy cut logs.

As if it had just been built, I could feel the dampness of the trees that were not yet dry.

“This is the Shadow Forest.”

Rhaast picked up a handful of dried grass in the corner and spread it on the floor and sat down.

After Aaron fainted, the monsters around him either died fighting each other or fled.

The first crisis was somehow overcome, but that didn’t mean the party was safe.

Nesti was so tired that she could no longer maintain the light curtain, and other monsters that smelled blood began to wander around.

“Neither the saintess nor the lord are doing well, but I thought it would be dangerous to stay there, so I killed a few monsters and retreated. I ran a full day.”

Raast rode Nesti and Aaron on a horse and headed straight for the Shadow Forest.

A few monsters, who were closely watching the party, caught up behind them, but thanks to Nesty’s improvisation, they didn’t take much damage.

“Then did you build this guard post too? It looks like it was built recently.”

Aaron groaned and raised his upper body with strength.

Every part of her body was still throbbing like an awl, but she felt like she could sit up now.

Raast supported him and shook his head.

“Please. Even I can’t handle a log this big alone.”

“This is the dark elf patrol post. I ran into the patrol shortly after entering the forest.”

Nesty added.

After the party left, Raven set up a post on the outskirts of the forest that had not yet been purified, and subdued the monsters who had fled from the power of the water of life.

The place where the party entrusted themselves was one of them.

The Dark Elf found the party while on patrol and gladly guided them to the post.

“Where are they now?”

“I went out on patrol again. They said they would take you to the Black Citadel tomorrow morning.”

“I can’t wait until morning. I have to go now.”

“… … yes?”

Raast asked as if he had heard it wrong.

“I came back much earlier than the expected return date, so can I take a break? You also freed Lord Oberyn’s soul.”

Nesty also tilted her head.

The group went on a preliminary exploration of Death Landing to free Oberyn’s sealed soul.

Originally scheduled for a week, the exploratory schedule was completed several days early, but I couldn’t figure out why I was in such a hurry.

“Soon Azazel will be sending troops here.”

Aaron said calmly.

In the game, Azazel wraps herself up when the water of life in the shadow forest resurrects and goes into holding on.

It was because it was obvious who the Dark Elves would target first after coming out of the barrier.

But this time it was different.

He knew early on that the water of life could be resurrected thanks to the advice of the demon god, and prepared an army in advance.

It would take some time for the water of life to fully regain its strength, so they wanted to attack and trample the forest before that.

“Is that possible? Even Azazel couldn’t pierce the great wall of the Shadow Forest, right?”

Rhaast raised his eyebrows and asked.

It’s not that I didn’t believe Aaron’s words, but I wondered how unintelligent undead would break through the barrier.

“There you are.”

Aaron pointed through the crookedly drilled window of the guard post.

As I followed my fingertips, I saw a group of green lights shining in the distance.

The water of life, which had recently been resurrected, was brightly illuminating one side of the forest even at this hour of deep darkness.

“Demand for life?”

“okay. Because of the light it emits, the power of the barrier will weaken over time. Azazel is aiming for that.”

The tree of life had an instinct to expand the forest as far as it could reach.

The large intestine wall created by Tassadar is an obstacle that directly blocks that instinct.

Right now, it hasn’t been long since I was resurrected and I can’t pierce it, but as time goes by, it will collapse one by one, starting from the place closest to the water of life.

“… … I will call the patrol.”

Raast, who stroked his chin with a serious face, got up and went out the door.

* * *

Returning to the post, the rangers obediently listened to Aaron’s request to lead them to the Black Citadel.

Even after the resurrection of the water of life, the night in the Shadow Forest was still cold and dark.

Monsters still roamed the outskirts, where the power of life did not reach, and the trees awakened from a thousand-year slumber shook their leaves whenever the party passed by, creating a bleak atmosphere.

“did. arrive.”

Eventually, when we arrived at the fortress, the ranger pointed to the gate and said,

The language of the continent, not the language of the Dark Elves.

Although he was clumsy, it was nice to see him trying to be polite.

[-… … Aaron?]

As he approached the gate, the guards who recognized him tilted their heads.

I heard that he would definitely come back in two weeks, but after a few days, exhausted, I wondered what was going on.

[-You have a lot of trouble. Please inform the monarch that we have arrived.]

[-Ah, I see.]

The guard sent a signal on the wall to inform them of the situation and immediately opened the gate.

After passing through the castle gate, the captain of the gate guard approached and guided the party into the inner castle.

The Monarchy, the home of the water of life, was much more beautiful than before.

The bare branches of the remaining trees sprouted green leaves, and the buildings buried in darkness showed off their majestic spirit with the light of the water of life.

“We’re hungry. Shall we eat one of those?”

Aaron pointed to the tree next to him and said.

The tree grew to the height of a child, and there were clusters of delicious purple fruits.

“Don’t make fun of me.”

Rhaast saw that and pouted his lips.

A special product of Shadow Forest, purple berries.

From noble mtl dot com

My teeth still trembled when I thought of having been deceived by that appetizing appearance.

“You came earlier than expected.”

After entering the waiting room and waiting for a while, someone opened the door and came in.

The new lord of the Black Citadel. It was Raven.

“Did you have a good trip to the hero’s hometown?”

Raven gave a welcome look and sat across from the group.

The chaos in the Black Citadel had not yet been completely sorted out, but her face was bright.

He felt more at ease by fulfilling his lifelong mission of resurrecting the water of life and liberating his people.

“It doesn’t make sense. What happened? Have you been tormented by monsters?”

Seeing the haggard behavior of the party, she asked again.

Aaron smiled and shook his head.

“You are quick-witted. I can be a prophet.”

“Monsters are prevalent in Death Landing, can you not expect that much? How many of them did you meet?”

Raven was frankly taken aback by the poor condition of the party.

They purified the corrupted water of life and subdued Asram, but they ended up like this after spending a few days in Death Landing.

I wondered who the hell made them like this.

“There were at least 300 of them.”

Raast spoke calmly.

“300? Ha, I have to joke about it… … .”

Raven was about to snort at once, but hesitated when he saw his stiff face.

If only his face had stiffened, he would have dismissed it as a joke, but even his hands were shaking slightly.

“Did you know you could do something like this?”

“I wish I was acting too.”

Rhaast laughed bitterly at her words, which seemed to be floating.

Clenching his fists to calm the tremors, he explained in detail what he had been through in Death Landing the past few days.

“… … This is hard for even you to believe.”

After hearing the story, Raven buried herself in the sofa with a confused face.

I understood that Aaron had lied about Oberyn’s blessing, and I somehow understood that the goal of this journey was to purify Oberyn’s soul.

However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand the fact that Aaron alone slaughtered the Death Knight, who commanded hundreds of demons and monsters that came to his birthplace.

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. But you have to believe in this one.”

“… … Any more surprises left?”

After Raast and Aaron set the mood, Raven asked back as if he was full of energy.

Aaron paused for a while as if choosing what to say.

“In the next three days, more than 5,000 monsters will invade the Shadow Forest.”

“… … ?”

Raven couldn’t bear to raise his voice and only opened his mouth.

The unexpected words came out of my mouth, and I forgot what to say in an instant.

“I don’t have time for a long explanation. We need to gather as many warriors as possible who can use the racial vision.”

Aaron continued talking without waiting for her answer.

Raven managed to catch up and opened his mouth.

“If what you say is true, wouldn’t it be right to build a garrison first? There are only a handful of racial arcane users, so why do we have to gather them first?”

In Black Citadel, only members of the special forces unit called the Ghost Battalion can use racial vision.

Since they were secretly nurtured by the Monarchy, there were only about 100 people, so I wondered why they were being asked to gather them.

“Raven.”

Aaron leaned forward and looked at Raven.

“What do you think is the best defense?”
